TERRORIST THREAT TO THE UK

Early day motion 607, tabled 19 October 2012 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 9 members.

That this House notes that Ministers have recently repeated the claim that the lives of British soldiers should be put at risk in Afghanistan to counter the alleged Afghan Taliban terrorist threat to the UK; believes that there is no truth in this claim and that the lives of British soldiers should not be sacrificed when no threat to the UK exists; and calls on the Coalition Government to adopt an independent foreign policy.
